Patna, Aug. 23. (PTI): A week after the Mathaurha carnage, six dalits
including three children were killed and one injured by the People's
War
Group (PWG) faction headed by Jaynandan Yadav at Dasmai village in
Patna district, a top police official said today.Heavily-armed ultras
raided the village and shot dead six persons late last night, Inspector
General of Police (Operation), Neelmani, said.

The killing was in apparent retaliation of the mowing down of three
sympathisers of the PWG faction by the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC)
ultras at Khainia village under Masaurhi sub- division in Patna district
on August 6.

Jayanandan gang had also shot dead six dalits at Mathaurha village in
the same sub-division on August 16. Contingents of the CRPF, the Bihar
Military Police and the District Armed Police were conducting raids to
apprehend the culprits, Neelmani said.One person who suffered gun-shot
injuries was being treated at a local hospital.
